LETTER TO SUPPLEMENT HEARING MEMORANDUMIN OPPOSITION TO TRIAL MEMORANDUM OF

SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEYAT EVIDENTIARY HEARING BEFORE

SPECIAL BOARD ON DISQUALIFICATION

At the hearing before the Licensing Board on February 2,1976,,

the City was requested to address a portion of its Hearing Memorandum to the

question of the Licensing Board's jurisdiction over the conduct of attorneys !

appearing before it. .

| The City's Hearing Memorandum, Section V, addressed that question

by reference to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Federal case law, as ati

!the time there did not appear to be any Nuclear Regulatory Commission precedents

directly on point. l

|

The City would respectfully submit to the Licensing Board two decisions )l

*

from the Appeal Board that recently came to its attention.

.

The Appeal Board in Northern Indiana Public Service Company, ALAB-

204, RAI-74-5, page 835, makes it quite clear that the ABA Code of Professional

Responsibility is applicable to proceedings before the Commission.

Also of interest is the Appeals Board's decision in Louisiana Power &

Light Company, ALAB-121, RAI-73-5, page 319, in which the Appeal Board sua

sponte struck a brief filed by the would-be intervenor because it contained insulting

references to the Licensing Board chairman. The Appeal Board noted that attorneys

practicing before the Commission "are under an express mandate to conform to the

standards of conductrespdredin the-zzamrss d.the Umted States" . Louisiana Power,.

supra, at 319.

These two Board decisions reinforce the City's contention that the

conduct of an attorney before the Licensing Board is identical with that of an attorney

practicing before the Federal Courts. Since the Federal Court would consider the

matters raised by the City, to wit, the disqualification of an attorney from appearing

on behalf of a party because of a conflict of interest, it follows that the Licensing

Board must also consider the matter.

Respectfully submitted,
